Talking to @cmcluck.bsky.social the other day: part of writing software is understanding the problem you are trying to solve. Even if code is instant and free it is almost certainly wrong until you understand what you are trying to do.

Happy b’day “When Doves Cry” — released 41 yrs ago today.

On his last night of mixing, Prince started removing instrument tracks, said engineer Peggy McCreary. “The last thing he did was he punched that bass out. He smiled at me and said, ‘Ain’t nobody gonna believe I’d do this.’ And he did.” 🕊️

Don't count your quiet engineers out. I have a quiet engineer that always does a great job getting their work done, but through talking to people in & outside of my team, I've learned they do waaaay more work than I ever realized. Quiet storm 💜

I think about this Calvin and Hobbes a lot, nowadays.

"The basic problem with the conservative discourse around “parents’ rights” is that it frames children as chattel—that is, as parents’ property. But children aren’t property. They’re people. And as people, they enjoy the same fundamental human rights as anyone else."

Reposting this from a reply so more people see it. If you're doing any work inside a wall, grab the tape measure and your phone and photograph EVERYTHING with references: studs, plumbing, electric, etc. You may never need it, but if you do, it will save you thousands of dollars someday.
